It has been found that the wavelength dependence of interstellar extinction is not the same for all stars in the Galaxy. The present investigation is concerned with a further demonstration of the degree of variation of interstellar extinction in the UV, taking into account new extinction measurements toward 29 early-type stars. The stars do not represent a random sample. Approximately 15 of them were chosen because they have either an unusually large or an unusually small ratio of the strength of the diffuse interstellar band at 4430 A to the color excess E(B-V). Five stars have a ratio of these quantities near average and nine additional stars are illuminating reflection nebulae. Attention is given to the deviation from the average galactic extinction law, dense versus diffuse cloud environments, and the galactic longitude dependence.
